In the new Best Buy ads, they have one of those "Ten bucks off if you buy more than fifty bucks worth of stuff" deals. Well, I was already planning on buying something there, so I obviously wanted to figure out other things that I wanted, so as to get myself ten bucks off. After long minutes spent realizing that I didn't really want to pay for anything else in the near future, I finally thought of something.
Why don't I simply buy 50 bucks worth of items, and then return everything other than the one item I want?
I can't really think of anything wrong with this scam, but it's best to err on the side of caution. So has anyone else tried this, or does anyone have a thought about improving it?

Honestly can't find anything wrong with this. Yeah, it seems pretty solid. Unfortunately, there's no potential for large profit... |

Well, there is a the potential for a little profit over a big amount of time. You might make like... 10 bucks over 3 months. As it takes Best buy and /ungodly/ amount of time to send back money from returns. edit: hey look now I'm copying you  . |

Actually, they do one of these deals about every other week, so that's over 20 bucks a month. Not that that's a huge amount or anything. |

I find that to be not quite enough money to be worth the scam.
